DQ250 Valve Body, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the DQ250. Ships fast from the USA.
When a DSG-equipped GTI, Jetta, Tiguan, Passat or Audi A3 starts banging into gear, losing a gear set, or going into limp with a gearbox light, owners are usually quoted a whole mechatronic unit or a whole transmission. Often the real failure is narrower: worn pressure-regulator bores in the DQ250 valve body that can no longer hold the pressure the controller asks for. This remanufactured DQ250 valve body is the lower-cost route for that specific failure, at a price below our dated 2003-2014 DQ250 valve body.
In the 02E and 0D9 gearbox the valve body is the hydraulic half of the mechatronic. Volkswagen's training material describes it running eight gear actuators, six pressure modulation valves and five control valves, and setting both the apply pressure and the cooling oil flow for the two wet clutches. The controller trims clutch pressure constantly to manage slip, so even small leakage past a worn valve shows up as shift quality problems. Those bores are wet with the same oil the clutches shed friction material into, which is why skipping DSG fluid services does so much damage here.
Not every DQ250 fault is hydraulic wear. Transmission Digest has reported that a single solenoid coil wire can break loose at its terminal blade, making the whole mechatronic look dead even though the wire can be soldered back - so if you get one isolated solenoid electrical code, check that first. Low or old fluid can mimic worn bores too, so check level and condition before ordering. Read our DSG line pressure testing guide for the gauge and scan checks, and our DSG overheating guide if the faults only show up when hot.
This listing is for the DQ250 six-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox and does not name specific model years. The DQ250 was built in several revisions for gas and diesel engines and for front and all-wheel drive, so the safest way to order is by the part number on your old unit's label. Send us that number, or your year and VIN, and we will confirm it before it ships. All of our dual-clutch parts are grouped on the VW and Audi DSG parts page.
Take the gearbox out of gear, drain the oil, and lift the old unit straight away from the case so the actuator pistons slide off the shift forks. Clean the case mating face, fit new seals, and bring the bolts down evenly to factory torque. Fill with VW G 052 182 DSG fluid and set the level hot at the level plug - our DSG funnel and fill kit makes that much easier with the car on stands. Finish with clutch adaptation and basic settings on a scan tool, or the shifts will stay rough. If your old unit had one failed solenoid rather than worn bores, our refurbished DQ250 mechatronic solenoid kit is the cheaper repair.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
This listing covers the DQ250 without a set year range, so match the part number printed on your old unit or send us your year and VIN. Front-drive 02E and all-wheel-drive 0D9 versions and different engine calibrations exist.
If only one solenoid has an electrical fault, check for a loose coil wire or try our refurbished solenoid kit first. If clutch pressure will not track its target on a road test, the worn bores in the valve body are the problem and this part is the fix.
Both are remanufactured DQ250 valve bodies. This one is listed without a specific year range, so it is up to you to match the part number on your unit; the 2003-2014 version is listed for that production window.
Mostly fluid. The clutches and the valve body share one oil supply, so skipped DSG fluid services let clutch debris and heat wear the valve bores until they leak pressure.
Refill with VW G 052 182 DSG fluid, set the level hot at the level plug, and run clutch adaptation and basic settings with a scan tool so the gearbox relearns its engagement points.
